A sad and delicate situation

I had a phone call early Saturday morning from a lady looking a card for a couple who had just lost their baby twins. Both were little girls, one died at 3 days old the other at 5 days old. I have mulled over this card design for two days and this is what I ended up with. Please let me know if you think this is suitable for the situation. The lady did not want thinking of you or with sympathy etc on the card. She did want white butterflies and pink bears as the parents have been seeing little butterflies when they visit the twins grave.I stuck with embossing white card, white lace and spellbinders butterflies in soft pink and white and a tiny bit of glitter. The lettering for the parents names is from Making Memories stickers.

I added two little pink bears and a tiny cross. Won't sleep till the lady receives this so I am really hoping the wording is suitable.

Pinky, one of the worst types of cards to make. I know a death isn't nice at any age but losing both within 5 days is so very sad. I think the card is perfect under the circumstances and will bring comfort to the parents of baby Chris and Leanne. May they both RIP, together forever. Kym xxx

Hi Pinky,This card, apart from being gorgeous as a card, is very appropriate. I'm sure this will be perfect in such delicate circumstances. Very well done - I would have struggled with this remit.Hugs,Fiona x

Hi Pinky what hard card to make but you have come up with this awesome keepsake this couple will treasure forever.. beautiful verse av gone all goosy reading it..safe in the arms of Jesus..God Bless little ones..

Hi, Pinky.It's real sad to read that without crying. Your card is the best one you could do for such a circumstance. I don't like stereotypes, me too and I think that the verse you chose is perfect. I'll pray for the babies. Hugs. Miria

A beautiful, perfect card. I'm sure it will be fully appreciated by the parents and will, hopefully, bring them some measure of comfort in the weeks and months ahead as they come to terms with such a sad loss. xx

Oh Pinky it's a perfect card for the need... and will be much appreciated! You are so thoughtful to put the special touches to it that will make it most precious to the parents. Thanks for sharing it with us at Stampin Sisters in Christ!

oh no Pinky you must have found this so difficult to make, the pain of losing just one child never mind twins must be unbearable...your have made a beautifully sensitive and meaningful card...brilliant workMina xxx

How wonderful it is you personalized it. My sister made my son and his wife the most beautiful card during their loss of their infant daughter and how special it was to them that she had personalized it with Sara's name. You have done a beautiful job on a most difficult card to make. Bless you.

Omg it would be awful losing one but twins doesnt bear thinking about, so sad, but you card is perfect love the verse, so touching, its even hard writing this, when you think of what they have lost.Chris x

That verse and the reason behind the card really brought a lump to my throat. Rest assured Pinky it has been done in the best possible way love, a very suitable card (and a beautiful one at that too). Happy craftingTracy x

Had to stop by and comment on this heart wrenching card. It is beautiful and the message is perfect. It is so easy to shy away from contact in such a tragic situation, it means so much more when someone takes the time and has a card made especially.

Oh Pinky, this is so beautiful for such a sad occasion, it's made me cry. That sentiment is perfect and I think the white with just a hint of pink is perfect. This must have been a really hard card to make but you have done a fantastic job. Marianne x
